I have this exact model from the last sale at $634. The only two major issue I have is the 2240 SSD, and random black screen wake ups. You won't find much ssd upgrade for this laptop.

Is this working fine with Adobe programs? I heard that AMD is not working fine with Adobes.
I've been using this for Premiere Pro (I'm waiting for the damn Legion 5 Pro to get released).

The Vega 8 iGPU handles 4k footage fine, just have to use proxies. Without you can't really do much.

Good deal for the hardware. I bought this 2-3 months ago when it was around $650. Amazing for the price, still a good deal at the current sale.

AMA with any questions.

Quote from JC8588 View quoted comment :
Which Intel processor is this AMD comparable to? Or is it just better overall?
Intel still has the advantage in single-core instructions per clock. But Intel has been stuck on 14nm forever (Intel 14nm is about 37.5 million transistors per mm^2). AMD is using TSMC's 7nm process (about 115 million transistors per mm^2 in its latest version). That gives the AMD processor a huge advantage in power consumption and density (how many cores you can pack together without overheating).

Intel's latest gen is manufactured at 10nm (Intel 10nm is about 100 million transistors per mm^2). That's a lot more competitive with TSMC 7nm, but Intel is having problems producing it in quantity, especially for their higher-end (higher power and heat) processors. Their latest high-end processors are still being manufactured at 14nm. Which is just nuts when Apple and probably Nvidia are being manufactured on TSMC 5nm (about 175 million transistors per mm^2 - nearly 5x the density of Intel 14nm).

AMD could've manufactured at 5nm if they were willing to pay more, but it looks like they're content to stay on 7nm for now. I suspect that decision had more to do with keeping Intel around as a competitor so that AMD doesn't have to face anti-trust investigations. That's how far behind Intel is.

But at multicore performance, the AMD 4700U (8 core/8 thread) and 4800U (8 core/16 thread) processors just wipe the floor with Intel's 10nm CPUs (best are 4 core/8 thread). I would only seriously consider the Intel 10nm processors (ice lake and tiger lake) for lower-end laptops competing with the AMD 4500U (6 core/6 thread), maybe the 4600U (6 core/12 thread). For higher performance, it's AMD on TSMC 7nm vs Intel on Intel 14nm, which is no contest. Intel only makes sense there if you don't care about power consumption at all. That might make sense on a desktop, but it automatically eliminates them from consideration if you're buying a performance laptop.

And keep in mind that AMD's new Zen 3 processors are now showing up for mobile... At this point with Intel 7nm (rumored to be around 200 million transistors/mm^2) still 2 years away at best, I think their only chance is to swallow their pride and have TSMC (or maybe Samsung) manufacture some of their processors for them.

There is no Intel processor as powerful and power efficient as this.

Make it $257 a piece and I'm in for three.
You can barely buy an 8 core 16 thread desktop CPU for that price.

Is the 4200mhz ram running in dual channel ? Or is it effectively acting like single channel. That ram speed is impressive for a laptop but less so if it's stuck acting like single channel

Google LODDR4.
? L0DDR4 returns an odd listing for some out of stock ram. Did you mean Lpddr4. But looking more into ddr4 vs lpddr4 it seems the lp has dual 16 bit bus or 32bit total vs 64bit total of normal ddr4
